Wedding Dance Lessons for TWO weddings!
Congratulations Estelle & Augustin! Our happy couple chose Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran for their first dance song, and don’t they look incredible dancing to it? As complete beginners, they took wedding dance lessons where they live in London, with a plan to dance at BOTH their weddings! As well as a destination wedding overseas, they chose the stunningly beautiful venue, Hedsor House in Buckinghamshire, for their UK celebrations. This gorgeous action shot was snapped during their first dance at Hedsor House – we love how the lights shine through Estelle’s dress!
They said “We could not thank you enough for the lessons! The wedding dance went really well, and we thoroughly enjoyed our lessons! We had the chance to perform it twice as we had two weddings in different countries, everyone really enjoyed our performance!”

Dance Lessons For Weddings
We are proud to offer the best wedding dance lessons in the UK. Whatever song or style of first dance you’d like, our dance lessons will make your first dance memorable for all the right reasons.
You will be taught by a wedding dance teacher who is qualified, experienced and insured. But most importantly, they are friendly and will put you at ease.
Typically, our couples are new to dance and have never taken lessons before. When thinking about your first dance at your wedding reception, we know you are imagining all your wedding guests looking at you. Therefore, we totally understand that the thought of dancing in front of everyone can be really nerve wracking!
We want you to feel happy and relaxed during your first dance, so our teachers focus on building confidence, as well as teaching dance steps. As you take to the floor on your wedding day, you can expect to feel calm and prepared to do the best, and most special, dance of your life.
First Dance Lessons For A Destination Wedding
Congratulations David and Crystal! Our happy couple took their wedding dance lessons at home in London, for their destination wedding in sunny Tenerife. They were keen to attempt some advanced moves, despite the fact they had never danced before. Dancing to ME! by Taylor Swift, they had no dance experience at all, however, they pulled it off incredibly well.
They said “There were so many memorable moments during our wedding dance lessons. Our guests said it was a highlight of the wedding!”

Father Daughter Wedding Dance
A father and daughter wedding dance celebrates the importance of the relationship, whilst making wonderful memories and fabulous photos! For the bride, it is a chance to show her love and appreciation to the man who raised her. Every Father/Daughter relationship is unique, and this personal dance will reflect what that means. It’s the perfect way to show your love, whilst adding personality to your big day.
Wedding Dance Lessons FAQs
Where do lessons take place?
For your convenience and privacy, wedding dance lessons take place in the comfort of your own home. They are ‘in-person’ not online. Taking lessons at home means you can learn in a relaxed atmosphere without distraction. It also saves you travel time in the hectic lead up to your big day.
How long are lessons?
All wedding dance lessons are 90 minutes, so 1.5 hours.
What if we don’t have a first dance song?
That’s OK! We are very happy to advise you and help you choose your first dance song. It’s a great idea to make a short list of songs you like, as this becomes the starting point to finding the song that’s perfect for you. Here are some ideas for First Dance Songs For Weddings and Unusual First Wedding Dance Songs.
How can I pay?
Once you are happy with your schedule, we will send you an invoice. You’ll have three days to pay and once you do, your lessons are confirmed. We are proud to operate in this way as we feel it’s important that the lesson schedule suits you, before you commit financially. There are no hidden costs, we don’t charge extra for travel or VAT and we don’t require deposits. You can pay via direct bank transfer, Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay or Apple Pay.
How much space do we need?
If you both stretch your arms out to the side and turn on the spot without bumping into anything, you are marking out the very minimum that we could work with. So if your space is bigger than this, you have enough space! It’s roughly 2 x 3m2. Of course, bigger is better, so we encourage you to push back the furniture to maximise your homemade dance floor!
Are you surprised that you don’t need more room? Here’s an explanation… I’m sure you’ve seen the dancers on Strictly Come Dancing whoosh across the floor? Their costumes are light, and the dresses are never longer than ankle length. As wedding dresses are floor length and often heavy, first wedding dances travel much less. This is why you don’t need as much space as you might expect to learn your first wedding dance.
What if we don’t have enough room?
That’s fine, as we can teach you somewhere else, such as a dance studio, function room, hall or leisure centre.
When you complete the Booking Form, it will ask whether you would like lessons at home or in a studio, as well as your address. Then, we can provide you with more precise information about space hire options in your local area, as they vary so much. For example, city locations are typically more expensive than rural locations. Also, halls are cheaper than dance studios.
Some of our teachers prefer to work from their own studios and these charges range from minimal to completely free of charge. If you are a gym member, it’s always a great idea to enquire about the studio space, as some gyms allow members to use it for free.
When hiring space, you will probably be asked if the teacher has Public Liability Insurance and the answer is always yes.
When will the lessons be?
When you fill out the Booking Form, you’ll notice we ask when would be convenient for you. Weekdays, weekends, daytimes and evenings are all options, as is a mixture of these, as you don’t have to have classes on the same day each week. Then, according to your teacher’s availability, we will make suggestions for you to choose from. You can be confident that the schedule will suit your lifestyle and will fit around your commitments.
What if we need to reschedule?
That’s fine! All we need it 48 hours’ notice and we can either re-arrange (if possible) or refund. To read more on this, here are the Terms & Conditions.

How far ahead should we take lessons?
Around six weeks before your wedding day is ideal, although some couples opt to start earlier. It’s a personal choice that will depend on everything else you have going on. We feel that six weeks is long enough to learn and practice, but not so early that you’ll forget the steps! It’s beneficial for the dance to be fresh in your mind, without having learnt so far in advance that you are bored of it by the time your wedding day arrives.
If you have less than 6 weeks to go, don’t worry, we’ll see what we can do. We once organised lessons for a couple 3 days before their wedding!
How much time should there be between lessons?
Ideally 5-10 days, as hopefully that allows time to practise. If there’s a large gap between lessons, the momentum of learning can be a bit slow. However, if this is your only option don’t worry, as there are ways around it. For example, you could film yourself at the end of your previous lesson as a reminder should you forget anything.
We can’t dance, are totally hopeless and have four left feet between us. Can you help?
Yes! We definitely can. Our wedding dance lessons are perfect for you, as we start from scratch with beginners. You will learn and develop one step at a time. Even if you have zero confidence and no rhythm, as long as you have some enthusiasm and the desire to progress, we’ll provide dancing lessons for wedding dance floor success!
